>> You're free to put me on ignore.

I don't use the <ignore> function, Poet. It's a matter of personal choice on my part.

>> I'm free to disagree with your personal opinion about short term options.

You certainly may disagree with me about anything, Poet, and you often have, but you may not put <GG>s in my posts to suit you. Actually, all of this is free for me, since I joined SI before they started charging for the service. You, otoh, have to pay to disagree with me <GG>.

>> As for sexism charges, take it with me by PM and leave the task of this thread to QCOM.

I'd prefer not to have dialog with you at all, Poet, at least until you stop your much too frequent practice of accusing folks of sexism, but if I do need to remind you that your accusations are unfair, I would prefer to do it on the public threads.

As far as short term options are concerned, they represent wonderful leverage if applied judiciously, but when done as a regular diet and combined with the use of margin, they represent an incredibly risky approach to making money. This last year has provided unprecedented success to options players, as some tech stocks went straight up, but I would hate to see anyone enter that arena with the expectation that it will continue to do so.
